Planning and Building Approval
Council has prepared a series of resources to help our customers with understanding how to make a development application. The Townsville City Plan and ePlanning portal can be found in Planning Guidelines and Tools.
Do I need approval?
Before you begin a project, whether it's work on a heritage listed home, or starting a home based business, it's important to find out if you need approval.
The Application Process
Learn about the different types of application, how to prepare and lodge your application, and the process that takes place once your application has been lodged.
